Ready for the stork

 Given that it takes 9 (10) months to grow a baby, you'd think that getting a little birth gift together wouldn't be that hard. But constantly I find the little darlings emerging from my friends before I have had the chance to produce a suitable welcome present.

However, this time Mr Stork, I have you beaten. A set of rubber stamp-lets for a chum of mine.

Because despite faithfully filling in the baby book with every detail of your precious firstborn's development, subsequent children are lucky if their milestones get recorded at all. At least this way, the 'first steps' scribbled in the corner of the family diary, can be highlighted a little bit. Well, that's the idea anyway. In a pinch, I'm sure elder siblings could use them to amuse themselves doing a spot of DIY tattoo work while Mummy is busy feeding the new arrival.
